Les' age could either be viewed as a deterrent or strength.
He could be a nice short term bridge to stabilize the program, rights the ship for a few years, and then turns it over. He rides off into the sunset rebuilding his alma matter. But they may want a long term solution
with the pickings being slim if they want to fire Hoke it could be the best option
After cycling through 2 coaches in 7 years, does Michigan really want another short term solution?
I know everyone is obsessed with "home run" hires, but there are several good options in the lower tier BCS and non-P5 coaching ranks. Lloyd Carr was an assistant for Gary Moeller. Bo Schembechler was the head coach at Miami (OH). Tressel came from FCS. Dantonio had three lackluster years at Cincinnati. Guys like Saban and Urban Meyer are a rarity. Let's stop acting like the only way to hire a good coach is to pick one off from another good program.

richrod/hoke were obvious hopeful long-term solutions which ended up failing miserably. i think if you're michigan, you want this next hire to be the right guy (rhetorical, i know), no matter if it's a short or long term solution.
they are starving for succcess, they are fiending for it. If i'm them, i want it now.

Hoke built enough of a solid foundation recruiting wise for Les to have immediate success, the guy can put together a good coaching staff. He has the identity UM wants on offense as well.
You're right it is possible to find good coaches without total bodies of work, but they're risky. Can UM afford to frick up another hire? Say what you want about Les, but you know exactly what you're getting with him. No reason at all to think he couldn't come in and put UM right back in contention in that conference.
